Twitter'Survivor: China' castaways tie the knot
"Survivor: China" contestants Jaime Dugan and Erik Huffman have carried their reality show love into real life.
The two castaways exchanged vows in front of 150 family members and friends in Charleston, South Carolina on Saturday night, reports People.
Dugan, 23, and Huffman, 28, said "I do" on the croquet lawn at the Wild Dunes Resort, which overlooked the beach.
Two previous "Amazing Race" contestants -- Marisa Axelrod and Brooke Jackson -- served as bridesmaids, the reception had an Asian-themed menu in honor of the newlywed's first rendezvous, and the wedding cake had a "Survivor" theme.
Even though Dugan grew up in Spartanburg, S.C., and Huffman was raised only 25 miles away in Greenville, they first met when they became members of the Zhan Hu tribe on "Survivor: China." Love blossomed and they became engaged in August 2008.
A touching moment between two castaways:
The couple used their fame to enter a contest for the Charleston Wedding Giveaway, and after the public voted on the final four videos, awarded the reality couple with a $80,000 dream wedding.
They first announced their engagement (and their intent to enter the contest) on Facebook. The social networking site also revealed that the dream wedding could only accommodate 150 guests, so all others were invited to an informal pre-wedding celebratory BBQ on March 21.

Er, how about Shawn Duffy & Rachel Campos, former Real Worlders, who met on the 1st RealWorld/RoadRules type crossover. They're not married with like 4 kids.

oh i i hte this.....why are they getting marrried?....i dont get it $80,000 they should invest it instead...marriage is not an investment...its a expenditire..trust me iknow this things....peace!:-)
i don't even remeber them from the game--must be two non-entities--perfect for each otehr
So, between them and Rob & Amber, "Survivor" has had twice as many successful weddings as "The Bachelor"! LOL
To annette.joan...
I don't believe they had the choice of investing the money. Sounds like the contest they entered had a prize of an $80,000 wedding.
I don't remember them from the game either
i remember both of them he was a strong Christian whose virginity was played up in the show and on the reunion show. everyone thought he was not normal because of his values. they really did seem like a cute couple on the show and you did sense that there would be a relationship after the show. it is nice to see as they were both very nice on the Survivor season.
Correct if I'm wrong, but was she not the wicked girl that threw an immunity challenge to vote someone off and laughed all the while that she was doing it?
Your right, Eric. I don't know what happy pills Doug was taking when he was watching the show, but I always found Jamie to be one of the biggest b*tches ever on Survivor.
she so doesnt deserve his fine ***! plus shes like ancient.
